Hello Brian I too hail from South London (born Bromley, lived Park Langley and West Wickham) although due to hubby's work we moved to Maidenhead some years ago. Janice - my mother still lives in WW a few minutes' walk from the station - anywhere near you? Regards Helen

Hi Brian i live in newaddington my married name is benham were in croydon are you?

hi yvette,yes your definitely welcome...new addington is better now,as the trams go there...let m know the family name,who knows,maybe i can help...best wishes to you all,bryan.

Brian, I'm not in Croydon now, but lived in New Addington for many years, my fathers family are based there, and i pop down often to visit and chase up family research at Croydon library. It seems the majority of his ancestors are from Thornton Heath, South Norwood and surrounding areas. So can i count myself as an honoury South Londoner? Regards Yvette

Hi Eleanor Hows you? Hope Tony's ok. Like you - wouldn't like to go around Streatham much late a t night - the pavement gets a bit full some nights!! Not bad area really tho Speak soon Liz

Hi Bryan, I'm in Streatham like Liz. I wouldn't walk around late at night on my own, but otherwise I think it's pretty much as good as anywhere else! Everywhere has it's dodgy areas, you just have to be sensible that's all! Hi Liz! I'll email you! Love Eleanor x

Hi Brian, I live in West Wickham and work in Sydenham. That close enough? Janice

My daughter works in the Mortuary at the Mayday Hospital Croydon..... does that count? Dee X

I cant say that it's really any different here...we have our fair share of violence...it's just closer to the sea than South London!

you see wot i mean lol,everyones moving out,but your right,it is quite violent in this area,time i moved,methinks...bryan.

I used to live in Wallington before I moved down here 16 years ago.

Hi Brian, I was born and bred in good old Camberwell, left there seven years ago, couldn't stand the violence anymore, miss my shopping trips to the Whitgift Centre though. Belle.

cos it feels lonely down here!......bryan.
